[ovirt-users] Re: Copying/Cloning a VM to another server
Strange.. None of my VMs have the option of Exporting to either OVA or Export Domain.
It is grey'd out. It would be awesome if I could do that with them running.
oVirt has proven itself a very very valuable product in my homelab. Tickled to death to
run this thing with a few forward facing sites, hosting my own cloud etc.

You should be able to do this without having to shut vm down

them to my backup r710 which runs oVirt 4.2. I basically shut down my VM, exported it to
an export domain on my primary r710. Then detached the export domain on the primary. On
my "standby" r710 I imported the export domain from the primary r710, attached,
activated and imported the VM. Worked as expected.

that didnt work like I wanted and I didnt care to keep messing with that option.
